Comment 77 for bug 220706

I haven't found a way to successfully boot up either 8.10 or 9.04 with my hardware setup (see my post on April 28). My next attempt will be to swap out the ATA DVD writer for an IDE one. My system was very stable back on 7.10 (and earlier) and is also fairly good on 8.04 (current configuration) so it would appear something changed in 8.10 that affected my hardware setup. It appears to be some sort of issue between the motherboard/bios ATA config and the kernal.
